MOQUECA (BRAZILIAN SEAFOOD STEW)



Moqueca (Brazilian Seafood Stew) image

Moqueca hails from the state of Bahia in northeastern Brazil, the heart of Afro-Brazilian culture and its rich culinary heritage. Built on the freshest seafood you can find, moqueca delivers a creamy, spicy richness with just a few central ingredients. The dish begins with a base of sautéed garlic, onion, tomatoes and sweet peppers. A fresh chile adds heat that will linger gently, and coconut milk gives the stew body. Red palm oil (azeite de dendê in Portuguese) acts as the glue that holds this dish together. There is no substitute for its characteristic floral, smokelike flavor and vibrant orange sheen. Serve moqueca hot, alongside steamed white rice, farofa de pilão (made from manioc flour toasted in dendê oil), pirão (a creamy porridge made from cooking manioc flour in a fish or meat stock) and lime wedges for a bright finish.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 head-on prawns or large head-on shrimp (about 12 ounces)
12 ounces cod fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt
2 limes
3 tablespoons dendê oil (red palm oil; see Note)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 small yellow onion, chopped (1 cup)
8 ounces sweet baby bell peppers or 2 bell peppers, any color, sliced into 1/4-inch strips (2 cups)
1 pound fresh tomatoes, cut in 1-inch-wide wedges (2 1/2 cups)
1 whole hot chile, such as red Scotch bonnet or bird's-eye, pierced all over with the tip of a knife
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut along the length of each prawn deep enough to expose and remove the vein. Place the fish chunks in a large bowl and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime and toss to coat. Set the prawns and fish aside while preparing the sauce.
  • In a large, shallow Dutch oven or large, deep skillet, melt 2 tablespoons dendê oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 1 minute. Add the onion, stir and cook, stirring until translucent, about 2 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to high, add the peppers, tomatoes and chile. Season with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the peppers are softened and any liquid from the tomatoes is beginning to evaporate, 4 minutes.
  • Pour in the coconut milk, stir and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens and reduces to a creamy sauce, about 10 minutes. Taste, adjust the salt, if necessary, and stir in 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro.
  • Carefully place the prawns in the sauce in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the prawns to cook the other sides and add the cod. (Discard any juices in the bowl.) The fish will be partly submerged. Cook until the fish is tender and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, drizzle in the remaining 1 tablespoon dendê oil and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro. Slice the remaining lime into wedges. Serve immediately, with steamed rice and lime wedges for squeezing.

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 - 1 1/2 pounds firm white fish- Halibut, Black Cod, Sea Bass ( thicker cuts are best)
½ teaspoon salt
one lime- zest and juice
2-3 tablespoons coconut or olive oil (or use Dende - Brazillian Red Palm oil for the best flavor!)
1 onion- finely diced ( red, white or yellow)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup carrot, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves- rough chopped
1/2 jalapeno, finely diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin (or whole seed)
1 cup fish or chicken stock
1 1/2 cups tomatoes, diced ( preferably fresh)
1 14 ounce can coconut milk ( liquid and solids)
more salt to taste
½ cup chopped cilantro, scallions or Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat dry the fish and cut into 2 inch peices. Place in a bowl. Add salt, zest from half the lime and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Massage lightly to coat all pieces well. Set aside.

Turn heat down to medium, add carrot, bell pepper, garlic and jalapeno and cook 4-5 more minutes. Add tomato paste, spices and stock. Mix and bring to a simmer and add tomatoes. Cover and simmer gently on medium low for 5 mintues or until carrots are tender.
  • Add the coconut milk and taste and add more salt if necessary.

  • To serve, serve over rice, sprinkle with cilantro or scallions and a squeeze of lime.
  • Drizzle with a little olive oil if you like.

MOQUECA BAIANA (BRAZILIAN SEAFOOD STEW)



Moqueca Baiana (Brazilian Seafood Stew) image

Moqueca baiana is a rich seafood stew from Brazil, reminiscent of a mild curry but not made from a spice paste base. This recipe is for the Afro-Brazilian version of moqueca from the state of Bahia. There's also moqueca capixaba from Espirito Santo which uses tomato puree and annatto, lacking the African influence by omitting the coconut milk and dende oil (palm oil). Dende oil is the key ingredient in this recipe.

Time 1h28m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 (16 ounce) can crabmeat
½ pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined without tail
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 ½ cups uncooked long-grain white rice
3 cups water
2 tablespoons water
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 yellow onion, coarsely chopped
2 ½ tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons dende oil (palm oil)
1 yellow onion, sliced
1 small yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 small orange bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1 Roma tomato, chopped
½ cup chopped green onions
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place crabmeat and shrimp in a dish; coat with lemon juice, lime juice, 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well. Cover with plastic wrap; chill until ready to use.
  • Combine rice, 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons water, coconut milk, chopped onion, butter, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 clove garlic in a large saucepan or rice cooker. Simmer, covered, until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  • Heat dende oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir sliced onion until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and crushed pepper. Cook and stir until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sliced tomatoes, chopped tomato, and green onions. Reduce heat to low; let vegetable mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and cilantro.
  • Transfer 1/2 the vegetable mixture to a plate. Spread the remaining mixture to evenly cover the bottom of the skillet. Spread crab-shrimp mixture on top. Top with the remaining vegetable mixture and pour on coconut milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Cook without stirring until flavors blend, about 15 minutes. Serve over the rice.

BRAZILIAN FISH STEW



Brazilian Fish Stew image

This super easy but hearty dish is full of flavor and absolutely delicious! It's a simplified version of a common Brazilian dish that I remember from my childhood and it's become a favorite even among my kids and I, even though we don't like fish! This can be made easily on the stovetop or in the slow cooker for a no-fail convenience meal. Use salmon in place of tilapia for a stronger fish flavor. Serve with hot rice or warm tortillas.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium high heat in a heavy bottomed pot. Add shrimp and sear for no more than one minute, stirring often. This gives the shrimp great texture, similar to "browning" meat. You can skip this step and add the shrimp at the end which will cook in the soup but it will have more of a poached texture. Remove and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon over medium heat in the same pot, add green peppers and shallot. Saute for 2-3 minutes, until shallot is translucent. Add garlic, cayenne pepper, chili flakes, cilantro salt and pepper. Saute 30 seconds, once you smell the garlic it is ready.
  • Add diced tomatoes, coconut milk and shrimp. Stir to combine and reduce to a simmer to allow flavours to combine. Before serving add the juice of one lime, garnish the bowls with slice of lime on top.
